Monthly results Month: May Trades: 17 Wins: 4 Losses: 13 Monthly Total: +$20.63 Yearly Total: +$11.68 What Worked: FGDB worked was not many about, but the few that were, worked nice and missed a couple of crackers and ran at like 5-1 r/r What failed: Random setups, I took more a few versions this month and all failed, baring a SGD continuation Best Trade: MTVA for a FGDB, after being ready and confident in my support level, this one of the few times I was actually confident in my support level so bought even so red and turned out nicely, locking in a little early simply because it was 27% profit, higher profit target would have been reached, but I was in a drawdown, so it was good to bounce back. Worst Trade: HCWB, simply because I didn’t have a named pattern, I still had entry, sl and target, but not a why it should and simply lost 5% on a quick entry. What work have I done this month: watched every webby and pmp with Bohen, still listening to podcasts on too and from work, completed all of Rizdom, so now back to traders journey, from last may, still recording every trade after on a chart on for why and what I could do better and still journaling everyday although now incorporated it with Claude AI and been playing about looking at my stats of how I trade, still need more data though, watched every lesson vid, Weather wise been a cracker for UK, so spent a little time more with fam, so missed many a double down and not seen any of Calebs. What have I learnt: I still have a lot to learn, 3DS were pretty much not even a thing this month, which is ok as FGDB and SGD worg were, so I have learnt you do need more than 1 playbook, as you cant just have a month off when learning, also on the FGDB I still have so much to learn and I do feel some complete the FGDB in a day also, so I need to watch if a stock is capable of this in the same day, also SGD worg/SGD con has seemed strong this month and this is not a bad pattern to take as then it also on my radar early for 3DS and FGDB, each month I am learning a little more, while still hungry to learn more, so I have learnt I need to keep being hungry to improve. What do I need to work hard on: Tracking results, I still feel I could track more, I have played about with claude so have setup up with python so I can play about will pulling data from my broker, so this could help with tracking, also I need a better alert system, as I use 2 different setups, 1 at work which is morning and early afternoon and then home setup for later afternoon and evenings, so I do miss a stock im watching that hits a level later in the day, also this is my attention as well, I do feel I have missed stocks this month, that I could of and should of took. Overall Feeling on the month: To be honest still felt like a hangover month still from the RECT disaster, its not the money, its more what it did to my stats, but slowly moving on lol, this month squeezes have been shooting off galore and been tempted to change patterns and chase, as these are massive on % moves, but generally resisted apart from the few losers I did try. Goal for next month: Take more trades I have plans for, I do trade plan sheet every night or morning ready, and some change and some I add or delete from it, but I do tend to not take as many as setup, sometimes because I don’t like level 2 and it turns out would of worked perfect or I simply miss as my eyes are elsewhere, so I need to narrow my focus down to my trade sheet.

Monthly results Month: April Trades: 21 Wins: 4 Losses: 17 Monthly Total: -$404.80 Yearly Total: -$8.66 What Worked: Not a lot worked this month, struggled overall really. What failed. 3DS was 3 wins from 12 trades, FGDB was 1 win from 7 trades and 2x SGD worg both failed, so poor month. Best Trade: BIRD 3DS with a 12% gain and even this I took a 3% loss on earlier, but re entered, just seemed to sit out of the best trades this month. Worst Trade: RECT 3DS, this one will be etched in my brain for a long while, this literally wiped out all profit for the yea, it’s a valuable lesson and also one that I wasn’t stubborn on, but will learn, took this pm it spiked at open on low volume 10% up didn’t take anything, then was 2c away from stop loss on low volume and crashed down 20%, stop loss was not taken out and it halted, removed stop loss and when opened tried getting out and put order in because so illiquid didn’t get taken out again and crashed down 50%, as this point it was pure panic as tried so hard to cut losses quickly and the I was not getting executed at all, eventually took out -43% that was awful and worst thing is I was 4x the size, I did more size by mistake, and instead of exiting I thought I would use as practice to see if I could stick to my plan with more size, just happens it was my worst trade ever in 2 years of being with sykes, certainly a kick in the teeth, so certainly set me back, I am not trading thinking of money at present and am trading to learn, but this hurt pride big time. What work have I done this month: I attend every webby of Tim, Ellis and jack, all Bohen PMP, some DD but they are hard to attend, with work, still listening to 5 hours podcasts each week, and reading when not at screens, I am still printing and analysing every trade as well as the ones I missed and why I missed them, then printing charts for these with plans and filing in folders, I have a written journal every day, but I have now started implementing this with Claude Ai, as well as putting my excel spreadsheet of all my trades tracked for my knowledge. What have I learnt: Illiquid tickers can screw you, I have Banned Singapore trades, take your eye off this game and it will destroy you, just when you feel your moving 1 pace forward, you get slammed back 3 paces, learning AI is a must in analysing trades and patterns I feel now and I will focus on more as some interesting results in my results so far. What do I need to work hard on: understand the patterns I am learning better, keep tracking the data and work with AI Analysing my results, plans and patterns so see what my data is telling me regarding my trading. Overall Feeling on the month: Like a kick in a teeth, felt progress was happening, but RECT wrecked me, although I know this will be a valuable lesson and I have learnt more about myself and I also proved I could avoid a total melt down, as i thought about going gun slinging, but stuck to plans and didn’t deviate so that RECT was my only blip, although I’m not gonna lie it was still in my mind while trading and is taking sometime to move on from. Goal for next month: To get back on track in taking trades at the correct times and not entering too early and also making sure my plan is the best it can be, I understand trades will lose, but I need to avoid a trade losing because I had stop loss above a key level instead of below for example, I will continue to work hard, I want so much to be able to use a pattern and plan with confidence and conviction.

Monthly results Month: March 2026 Results Trades: 28 Wins: 14 Losses: 14 Monthly Total: +$261.22 Yearly Total: $396.14 What Worked: FGDB 3 wins from 5 trades, with 2 decent size winners and the losses were small in comparison to the winners as well, 3DS was even better with 9 trades taken and 6 being winners. What failed: SGD that I decided to take were not the best this month, nor was trying the oil stocks for worg and bounces, the mixed pattern section of stats, which is everything from random trades to SGD trades and was 14 trades with only 5 winners, but even so majority failed, this was still slightly in profit. Best trade: UGRO on the FGDB, this one I watched closely and was ready to enter at a great level for R/R, and was 35% winner for me, with a profit of $70, 50%+ was available but this was good to lock in, especially with the way market had been, UGRO was also the best 3DS at 22% however that day, I left a massive amount on the table with that one as it ran to over 400% Worst trade: FEED for the 3DS, I had bought in pm, which is fine as some do work, but this was different in the way it acted previous day and on the day and it was looking weak all pm and I took into open and it daggered, instead of 5% loss, it was 10%, this could have been avoided as it looked so weak for so long. What work have I done this month: I am still listening to 5 hours of trading podcasts a week, currently still going through rizdom podcasts, I attend every pre market prep and every Sykes, Ellis and Jacks webby, as well as watching every sykes lesson vid, still also reading most nights, I watch some of the Double downs, but time its on, it’s a struggle to, I still scan with finviz every night, but this is getting less and less useful, as most stocks I now have on my watchlist already, but its still worth it in case I missed any, I journal every trade in my diary hand written, then I also type out on the chart as well, I also print & plot charts for the 3DS & FGDB patterns if I missed a trade on these, every Saturday morning, I get up 4am and spend 3-4 hours going through the weeks trades I taken or missed and seeing how I could of done better or executed differently and try to find reasons to improve, this I started in December and think this is so valuable to my improvement, over the weekend I will read and study when and where I can as I have a big family to look after, so struggle with afternoons, hence why I get up early on Saturday morning, I gave up Friday nights to be able to do this. What have I learnt: I have learnt there is still so much to learn, I am trying to read L2 better in the PM when stocks have way less volume and understanding that stocks need volume to go up as well as down, I am still learning the FGDB and 3DS, learnt more this month but so much still to learn. What do I need to work hard on: Understanding when and where to enter the 3DS when its running, I seem ok if it hasn’t started its run yet, but if it does I am struggling to enter when already up, not sure if this is quick support and resistance charting letting me down or physiologically not allowing me to enter. Overall Feeling on the month: Great overall feeling this month and I do feel like a corner has been turned, this is the 3rd green month in a row and wipes out the losses for 2025, although I am not thinking about the money side of the trades as I am trading small to learn this process, its nice to know I am making an indent into the losses and looking at the month as a whole I have nailed a few great trades and avoided a lot of crappy trades, especially FGDB, I have still missed some great ones too, but some I feel I would of missed last year I have now recognised and not only taken, but have got better at entries too, I still need to cut out the random, but that is getting better also. Goal for next month: To carry on working harder and improve on this month, to improve on learning and executing the 3DS & FGDB patterns, process, process, process.

Monthly results Month: Febuary Trades: 14 Wins: 7 Losses: 7 Monthly Total: + $16.30 Yearly Total: +$16.30 What Worked: FGD 2 of 3 worked, 3DS 2 of 3 worked, SGB worg had 5 attempts, with 3 winners and 2 losers, 1 being biggest loser of month and year and was a trade I that really costs me massive slippage. What failed: Random setups I am still playing and did 2x or really 4x as 2 I named weren’t really what I named them, if I cut these out and concentrate on actual patterns it would feel a better month. Best trade: XWEL +15%, pattern 3DS, entered after small loss earlier and executed well and seen selling off. Worst trade: KNRX -16% SGB Worg, basically sl shot through so instead of 2% risk it was slippage and 16%, but regardless the choice when I entered was poor and should of waited for the stock to prove itself and that would of kept me out of danger. What work have I done this month: Still reading every night before bed, read Technical analysis of stock trends, reading price charts bar by bar, Studies in tape reading and the compound affect and listening to podcast of Rizdom every morning and night too and from work, I attend every PMP with Bohen as well as jack, Sykes and Ellis webbys, all midnight madnesses, and extra ones from Bohen, still plotting every 3DS, FGDB I am in or miss and track the data real time and then study, print and file the chart after to see where I can enter and exit and what to look for, every day is entered in my journal, What have I learnt: Feb was a tough month, markets seemed lighter on volume and not a lot of follow throughs, missed a few again that I was watching and hesitated on, always access these after and still cant decide if its lack of preparation, not reading the price action correctly, wounded from past fails clouding my judgement or just plain chicken, this is defo something I need to work on and am jotting down my feelings when I have or haven’t take a trade, the best trades do simply seem to work and the bad ones, I am tending to know with seconds or a couple of minutes, could I cut sooner maybe, not enough data as to early into this journey, but certainly something to be mindful of, but while I am learning what works and how and when to enter, I will take losses and I’m fine with that as long as I have entered for a pattern and not random. What do I need to work hard on: Entering FGD and 3DS that gap up, still struggling to enter these, I’m ok if I can catch them going red/green, but if they gap up I’m scared they have gone too far early and will fail, so I need more data on these, RXT was perfect example this week, it gapped up pm and open over 25%, before falling at open and then consolidated for 1 hr but I didn’t enter, went over this chart indepth working out reasons why I didn’t enter and its this, I really need to work on, a lot of my tickets on my watchlists are running, so a FGDB or 3DS or SGD worg does not come out of the blue now, it is already on my watchlist and often I have a plan ready, but either I missed the entry or my plan was wrong and I was trying to enter to low, but considering how many runners I actually did see real time, is a an improvement. Overall Feeling on the month: Been a tough month and not many trades, 14 is low for me, but even so I only feel I probably chickened out on say 10 trades max and 2 trades, should of never have been taken and were taken on a baron week, where if there had been actual trades worth taken, I would of given these 2 a second glance I feel and both were 2 worst losses, so says a lot, managed to make the month green, just. Felt like good parts to the month where displine was generally very good baring 2 stupid lapses which came on the same day within minutes of each other, I know its only 2 trades, but take them 2 away and I think this would have been a decent month again, but these loses are valuable lessons to learn not to repeat. Goal for next month: Keep tracking FGD, 3DS as I really think I can get these to work with me, work in progress on finding an entry on gapups on these both, will still attempt the SGD worg where I see fit, as these are now working out to give me and understanding while watching for a possible 3DS later and the FGDB even later, so I am seeing and jotting down levels,

Monthly results Month: January Trades: 35 Wins: 12 Losses: 13 Monthly Total: $118.62 Yearly Total: £118.62 Profitly since began Jan 2024: -$1001.56 Biggest winner: ROLR $52.05, +26.3%, 3DS Pattern Biggest loser: FJET -$23.80, -11%, Random pattern, total random trade, jumped in with limited plan, not thought out whatsoever. What Worked: FGDB took 12 trades, 4 worked with a profit of $41.80, 33.3% hit rate. 3DS: 8 trades, only 1 winner, so 12.5% strike rate but practically break even -$1.03. Mixed was 14 trades, with 6 winners at 42.9% strike rate, with 4 of 4 coming in the way of SGD Worg, RCT only 1 took, which was $28 winner. SGD worg, I had started seeing more as tracking the FGDB early and noticed a pattern with certain ones for running on day 2, so started to take a few and this month worked well. 3DS is very good when works, FGDB was profitable, much to learn and work on though, feel on touching the tip of this ice berg still. What failed. Discipline, still jumping into a few trades, it wasn’t really patterns, it was more psychology problem, missing certain plays as hesitated and wanted to rock solid confirmation, only to enter at stupid point, with no real thought of support and resistance. What work have I done this month: Podcasts walking to work 5 hours a week, still going through the Words of Rizdom, attend at every live webby and all Bohen PMP, most of Bohens DD, then extra vids I here of, read a book every night before sleep, tracking my data every day and add to my excel data, also added more columns I feel valuable in this data, every trade is printed and plotted what I did good and how I could improve, then the patterns I am tracking if I missed any and how I could of traded these, journal every day and realised, this journal does not just need info on my trades, but also my headspace and how I was feeling during it as well as headspace on the days trading as a whole. What have I learnt: I knew tracking was important, but its turning essential into my progression, for example, I need to learn a way to enter a trade that if I was watching and hesitated and missed my low entry near support, I should not buy high, I know this sounds like obvious, but there is ways to enter a FGDB or 3DS if it goes without me, but I have a tendency of jumping in after a green candle and buying the top of the candle and risking the low of the same candle only to see it fail, now if I had like Ellis says, “look left”, for example PM HOD break, enter on this level or if has done this, then wait for it to bounce of this level, I look left always when plotting and tracking, but live I don’t seem to and am too zoomed in, with at least 2 trades I lost on, in recent memory this month, this would of worked, so instead of taking a random entry loss, I could of used this level and had winners instead of losers, this is my bad habit and I need to cut it out. What do I need to work hard on: Every night or early morning I make my plan for the day, I need to work trusting my levels of support to enter and work on making sure I have strong support levels, if I practise more of these levels, I will trust them more, which will lead me to having confidence to enter, as I said in learnt section, I need to work on entries after a stock has started to run, also psychology of jumping into trades, still do this, why ? often it feels like a rush of blood and is I need to learn this feeling when it happens. Overall Feeling on the month: Happy with the month overall, felt like a choppy market, but had some good trade executions, missed a few that had on screen watching live, that would of worked well, executions on these didn’t happen because of confidence, also some no doubt would of failed as well, but overall if I took them all it would have been an even better month, tbf IKBR stopped 2 of these and they were quick winners from level it denied me at, but could of, should of, would of are no good, but I plan to work on this, so a lot to work on, as I continue to grow at this, it truly is as Skyes says a marathon and not a sprint. Goal for next month: Keep getting better at support and resistance levels, keep learning the FGDB, 3DS and also keep the SGD on my wl, although not going to track these just yet, I will keep an eye on these as they also help in seeing levels for the 3DS and FGDB, so they all can be connected.
